Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunohistochemistry Assay to Detect Turkey Coronavirus (TCoV) from Experimentally Infected PoultsThais Larissa L Castanheira, Heitor F. Ferrari, Maria Cecília R. Luvizotto, Tereza C. CardosoThe objective of this study was to develop a direct immunohistochemical assay to detect TCoV antigens in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections prepared from experimentally infected poults. The sections of ileo, ileo-cecal junction and ceca regions from intestine were prepared and submitted to two different primary antibodies, first the non-biotin labeled polyclonal antibody for the indirect method, and second the biotin-labeled polyclonal … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,900 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuppression of Basal and Cytokine Induced Expression of MHC, ICAM 1 and B7 Markers on Mouse Lung Epithelial Cells Exposed to Diesel Exhaust ParticlesRajiv K. Saxena, Wanda Williams, M. Ian GilmourDiesel exhaust particles (DEP) constitute a significant component of airborne particulates in urban environment. Exposure to DEP is known to enhance susceptibility to viral and bacterial infections. We hypothesized that DEP could partially exert its effect on disease susceptibility by interfering with antigen presentation required for the generation of protective adaptive immune responses. MHC class I and class II molecules, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,607 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Azadirachta indica on Sheep Infected Naturally with HelminthesF.R. Macedo, H. Louvandini, G.R. Paludo et al.The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of neem (Azadirachta indica) on natural helminthes infection in lambs. Forty, four-month-old entire Santa Ines lambs were grazed on pasture, over a 20 week period. They were divided into 4 treatments: Without drenching (ND), 3 g A. indica/animal (A3), 6 g A. indica/animal (A6) and 9 g A. indica/animal (A9) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,673 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence of Human Papillomavirus Types Among Mexican Women with Intraepithelial Lesions and Cervical Cancer: Detection with MY09/MY011 and GP5+/GP6+ Primer SystemsGloria Fernández-Tilapa, Berenice Illades-Aguiar, Dinorah Nashely Martínez-Carrillo et al.Squamous cervical carcinoma (SCC) is the most common cancer found in Mexican women. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a prerequisite for this disease. In Mexico little is known about the prevalence of HPV-types and knowledge of the circulating genotypes by region is limited. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and genotypes of HPV in biopsies from … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,306 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControl of Anthracnose Caused by Colletotrichum musae on Curcuma alismatifolia Gagnep. Using Antagonistic Bacillus spp.Supuk Mahadtanapuk, Mondhon Sanguansermsri, Robert W. Cutler et al.Over 400 bacterial strains, isolated from leaf surfaces of Curcuma alismatifolia Gagnep. and hot springs in the Chiang Mai province of northern Thailand, were screened in vitro for antagonistic activity against Colletotrichum musae, an anthracnose fungus. Three isolates provided greater than 75% growth inhibition of the fungus in vitro and were identified as Bacillus licheniformis, B. amyloliquefaciens and B. subtilis. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 9,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCirculating Granzymes are associated with Bloodstream Infection and Death in Febrile Medical PatientsAnnelies N. Tacx, Angela M. Wolbink, C. E. Hack, A.B. Johan GroeneveldPlasma levels of granzymes are specific markers for the activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells but the impact of activation of these cells on the course of bacterial infections is not well understood. We prospectively studied the implications of circulating granzyme A and B (GrA, GrB) levels in febrile, medical and hospitalized patients (n=284), during 3 … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 6,736 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplications of Real-time Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction in Clinical Virology Laboratories for the Diagnosis of Human DiseasesR. Manojkumar, V. MrudulaEarly diagnosis that prevents further expansion of the causative agent and thereby aids control and eradication of infectious agents is critical for countries trying to obtain a particular disease free status. In these diagnostics speed is paramount, including the assay’s applicability, sensitivity, specificity, cost effectiveness and patentability. Real-time Reverse Transcription PCR (rRT-PCR) has revolutionized the field of molecular biology and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,553 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormonal and Metabolic Disorders of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection and Substance AbuseJag H. Khalsa, Frank Vocci, Adrian DobsThere are an estimated 200 million users of an illicit drug in the world today. In addition, an estimated 40 million people are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and an estimated 180 million people are infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Both the use of an illicit drug and the co-occurrence of infections are associated with a … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,715 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLeishmania donovani: Immunomodulatory Role of 63KDa Leishmania Antigen in the Promotion of IFN-gamma Response (VL vs HIV-VL Co-infection)Pranati, Sanjiva Bimal, K. Pandey et al.Cytokine behavior of T-lymphocytes is not very clear when a patient is co-infected with Leishmania donovani and HIV. To achieve this we studied groups of patients comprising of VL infected, HIV infected and HIV-VL co-infected cases. As compared to lone infections by either of the infecting agent, the co-infection cases showed greatly diminished CD4 T-cell counts and slightly enhanced values … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,000 accessesView PDFCite
